- ★Bring plenty of water (1.5–2 litres minimum) and sun protection; there is minimal shade in the valley, especially mid-day
- ★Start your Petra walk early in the day to beat crowds and heat; the main Treasury is most photogenic before 10 a.m.
- ★Ask your guide about hidden tombs and viewpoints off the main path for quieter, rewarding perspectives
